Anyone know how to set up a 2120S Adaptec scsi raid controller?

Adaptec has good docs and support

not that I can understand

I thought mine was Adaptec...maybe the chip...mine is a Mylex DAC960 
sorry.

Course, I would never use raid for anything that you don't want to 
lose.  Too easy to mess it up.  Complexity breeds failure.  More 
likely to lose a RAID array than a plain disc, and much harder to 
recover.

(that was a hard lesson learned...never will do it again)

well, I pulled the card out .. too dangerous as you say.

I'll wait till I can speak to HP tech support who supplied the card.

It just kept rebooting the server with the card installed.

I know someone I could ask Monday or Tues if you still need it...but 
those hard drive cards have to wedge into the BIOS.  If you HAVE 
to use RAID, don't Stripe, but be sure they mirror each other...otherwise 
you don't have your data safely in one place.

it defaulted to creating a volume setup - ie. 72Gb drive out of 2 
x 36Gb, and I couldn't see how to change it to Raid 1.

not my strong suit...and just be careful

The o7o way of coding.. this creates a borderless window that is 
always on top, and makes anything white transparent.. see the °7° 
group for more into...

REBOL [title: none]

openx: openy: 300

do load http://o7o.org/start

°loadcode° "°winapi°"
°loadcode° "°windows°"

lay: layout [box blue box white]

°view22° lay 

°loadcode° "°alphaWhiteOnTop°"

Has anyone written a util that spiders a ftp site and prints out 
the space taken within each directory?

According to my host, I'm 500Mb over quota .. just can't see where 
though.

look at all the files starting with a . as well, you don't see them 
by default.

even with a ftp client?

some ftp clients NEVER show files starting with a dot, others need 
to be configured to show them.

Looks like i don't need that util after all.  My host located a 500Mb 
movie file uploaded by a hacker a couple of weeks ago .. must be 
at the same time my site got defaced.

anyone know of a command line unzip util that preserves case?  

I tried pkunzip -e -o and all the files were extracted in uppercase.

I use 7 zip.. not sure about case,but is a great zipper, and open 
source..  http://www.7-zip.org/

doesn't work as a command line utility without installation first 
:(

Talked to HP tech support .. seems I need to initialise both drives 
before I can set up raid 1 :(

I got a few HP Servers that I support

Adaptec 2120S raid card.

Using NETRAID utility?

umm... what's that?

All I got was some pdf on a cdrom with the card.

Its a utility for mostly windows based os

Its an HP Server?

I've got Windows 2003 server already setup on the initial drive. 
 Pulled out the existing scsi card, and put in the raid card, and 
added another hard drive.  Proliant ML110 server.

Tech guy said if I had setup the first drive on the raid controller, 
it would not be a problem.

Is the Card recognized by the OS?

never got that far .. kept recycling.

Ahhh old compaq models

maybe a termination problem

new server .. bought 2 weeks ago.

Yeah the model is one from Compaq days

Proliants are the name of the servers that Compaq use to sell before 
they got purchased by HP

and still today obviously

I think the name is Proliant, but the motherboard is certainly well 
past Compaq days

Yeah most likely - Are the drives external or internal?

internal

termination should'nt be the problem then.  Do you get the bios info 
of the card and able to get into its config at boot up?

yes.

Does it show both drives?

yes.

So these are old drives that have data that you still want the data 
from correct?

yeah.

just the first drive.. the second drive is new.
